Late Period Help!

Posted , 10 users are following.

Hello ladies. Looking for advice and reassurance. Im 41 have been in peri for about 2 years now. My cycle has still been consistently normal up until now. My period was Due Friday and as of today i still dont have one. I took a home pregnancy test which was negative but im so confused. I had really sore nipples that lasted about a week or so and my sex drive was in full force about2 weeks ago its starting to die down and the soreness in my nipples have gone. I thought i was getting ready to start my period i use a tracker but nope nothing. Could i be pregnant? Could this just be a missed period? I have no period symptoms I actually feel ok which is weird for me normally i get pretty bad anxiety but nope. Help!!! lol Thank you

    I am 16 days late if that makes you feel any better! I had an ultrasound and actually had an internal (all normal) and my OB/GYN (who I LOVE) pretty much said well, Heidi, you're just at that age (46). This is the first month I have almost skipped (not officially a skip until you hit 60 days) and I have felt like I am going to get my period for weeks. Fun times! Hang in there - we are all in this nonsense together! xo Heidi

    Hi Renee,

    If you aren't on any birth control than it's possible to get pregnant.

    I used to feel that way but I knew my husband had a vasectomy and I couldn't be pregnant, but that's exactly how my breasts felt. Like when I was pregnant.

    So either is possible. Take another pregnancy test to make sure?

    hey

    I've been Peri for 4 years and my periods have been inconsistent but always here by 30 days or earlier but this month I was due on Thursday and still nothing. I've had a bit of period cramp and sore boobs but still nothing. I keep thinking could this be the first miss but not sure. just waiting.....

    I'm 44 and been in peri for just over a year. I missed one period (August) but other than that, it's come like clockwork every 3 weeks. Except now. It should have come last Tuesday, so I am now a week late. No period symptoms and am wondering if this will be a missed one or if it'll surprise me out of nowhere. Actually hoping it's a missed one, since we're off on vacation next week and it would be lousy timing to get my period. And as I told my Gyn at my annual a couple of weeks ago - I just want to get on with missing more periods to get through this time!

    I have been getting my periods every 3 months (2 times already) then last month it came normal again and now this month I am a little early (spotting) and thinking I may get it again. When they did not come for 3 months it was Wonderful! Before this I got them every 28 days like clockwork..so I am feeling I am reaching the end maybe... It's normal for your body to do that, so try not to worry. Hugs!!!
